Cowgirl Tilda at Just Magnolia and WINNER!!

Happy Saturday to Everyone!! Gosh, I hope you are as ready as I am to have a wonderful weekend! I am ready to get lots done and stay awake more than a few minutes at a time....lol...Of course as hot as it has been in Southeastern US, staying inside in the A/C has been a real blessing, although I would like to have more AWAKE moments!! My weekends, free of anything radiated, are a real JOY!!!!

This week at Just Magnolia we were treated with a wonderfully fun sketch by the delightfully talented and creative Dawny P. We would love for you to come over and check out the splendid DT Sample Cards this week and join in with us in using Dawny's sketch and your Magnolias! There is a very nice prize this week from Crafty Sentiments so come on over and show us your interpretation of the sketch!!

For my card I used Bazzill for the base, all matting is PTI Kraft and Ocean Tides, and the DP is from the WANTED paper pack by Cosmo Cricket. All panels were machine stitched. Since I was using that darling Cowgirl Tilda from Magnolia-licious, I wanted to distress the card so that it would look as though this little darlin' had been riding fence for days!! Tilda was stamped on Cryogen white and colored with Copics. In order to make her outfit and boots look like suede or nubuck I used a Q-tip moistened with blending solution to touch the areas....how did I do?? She is now available at Diana's shop!! I am NOT a distresser so this card really took its toll on me...lol. To finish the front of the card I added a computer generated sentiment which I printed on Kraft using Abilene font and tied it to the card with jute twine, adding a lucky horse shoe with horse charm to the bow. I finally added silver brads to soften the worn out corners which remind me of saddle ornaments.

And what is a COWGIRL without her horse????

On the first panel of the inside I used Tilda's Horse which is available at Diana's and Old Stand to set the ranch scene. They were both colored with Copics. I added some free-form grass and used jute twine to tie Horsey to the stand. Although the stand is not available right now, Diana does have a number of fences which you could use just as well. I also added another lucky horse shoe charm to the bow. The second panel is just a jotting spot with jute bow. I hope you like my attempt at the Old West!!!

Another stunner, Jacque. I try and comment on lots of blogs but your's is one of just a handful that I love to visit and cards like this are the reason why. Your colours and papers are gorgeous. Tilda is a real picture and the font you chose for Howdy is just dandy! And then there's the inside too! Great pony!!! lovely charms. It's just too darn cute for words! Warmest wishes, Lesley

Great card, and fab insert as always, just finished your RRR blog hop, will definateely bee doing more of them, thanks for making me try them, don;t know where I am going to find the hours in the days though...lol...hugs Kath...

Hello Jacque, I am happy to read your weekend will be spent at interesting things other than sleeping! I just adore Tilda as a cowgirl! Sooo pretty. Thanks for the suede technique, will have to try that. What about the inside, soooo cute to. Absolutely adorable.Hugs.Danielle.

OMG, Jacque, this is soooo adorable! I can't believe this....I just inked up this cutie last night, along with the horse!!! We really are on the same wave length...hahahahaha!!!!What an outstanding card...love,love it!You NEVER stop to amaze me with your creativity!

What a great card! I just love the new Magnolia stamps and this one is a favorite. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and maybe next week you will have more awake hours. Not much longer to go and all of this will be behind you! Hugs,Linda

Jacque, it looks lovely. The papers are great for the scene and those rustic looking brats finish it off perfectly. I am racking my brain trying to think of the name for those medallions...lololol.You again hit a home run with this card....

Just love it!!! Your Q-tip worked great....I'll have to give it a try some time. I know you can also use a small piece of terry cloth with the blending solution but I think you have better control your way. Can't believe you've never distressed before...me either though lol!Hugz,Cheri

What a perfect cowgirl - and the jute is JUST perfect - one of your otherwise lovely satin bows wouldn't do here. The boots are super and so is the horse - I have used this horse a couple of times and know it is not easy to color in the right way. Enjoy your weekend - another week done is one less to endure with this treatment.

What a cutie little cowgirl, you´ve made here and I just love the horse to go with her too. As always your creations is awesome hun. I always so love to see, what you´ve done here.Have a wonderful week ahead of you .Biiiiiiiig hugs Maryann

This cowgirl card is just too cute!! I think I like the inside as much as the outside. I just love that horse, and the little horseshoe charms....amazing. It's like getting two cards in one. You always have the right embellishments for all your cards too. Awesome!!

Jacque, Your card is so gorgeous inside and out!! I love Cowgirl Tilda and her horse all hitched up waiting for her and the addition of the horse shoe charms and the jute. And, you did a wonderful job distressing all the edges.Hugs,Suzan

Monday morning again!!! I have been thinking of you and hope all goes well this week.Your little cowgirl Tilda is so cute and I love her pony as well. The silver charms tied on with the twine are adorable AND you aced it with the distressing! It's a little difficult to do the first couple times but your's looks amazing. I sometimes spritz a little water on the paper to help soften the edges.Thanks for sharing! :o)

Please remember!!
